empire waist cardigan

Hello, there. Happy August! I would love to tell you all about our trip to tahoe. And how envious I am of all that get to experience that on a daily basis. And share some photos, considering I took 991 of them. However, I am more excited to share the empire waist cardigan which includes a little of this magical spot.I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this sweater. Do I say that a lot? I think I might. But seriously, this one! This one has moved up to my number one spot. It was a piece of cake to knit, the construction was totally fun, and talk about wearable. Heck, you can throw this on at anytime with anything. I seriously am going to make this in another color. I would love to make it out of a wool for the fall. Pattern: empire waist cardigan

size: smallAnd I must mention that photo credits go to my wonderful sister, Lisa. Who I made hike her skirt up to climb over a fence and climb down some rocks, all for my blog. Thanks Lisa, you're the best. (Well, you are too, Shelly.)

I've not yet been too Tahoe...well, unless you count watching on TV (you know, armchair traveling) that Celebrity Golf Championship with Michael Jordan that was on not too long ago...but, your glorious pictures have moved it up on the list of places to go! So glad you had a great time. Delicious family & Mother Earth moments!

And absolutely love the empire waist cardigan. It looks beautiful on you...the color, the drape, those wonderful sleeves. Yep, totally make this again not only because it was a fun knit, but because a sweater should most definitely be comfy, functional and fit to the wearer's total pleasure!

I do love the sweater and the scenery. Great pictures. What about the short sleeves for fall? Are you thinking of making them longer? I'm always a little to cautious and practical when it comes to knitting a sweater for myself.

I am so impressed! Seriously I don't know how I came across your blog but I love it. I don't knit, but would love too, I do some basic crochet, but I never in the world thought real people knitted sweaters still. I'm not kidding I thought it was only afghans and hats.

Leslie, I think Classic Elite might have to give you a kickback. Surely sales of this pattern and yarn are surging. I have to admit, I didn't think much of the sweater initially but you make it look like a fantastic find. Can't wait to see what other colors you choose to add to your wardrobe.

YOu know, I was at the LYS this past weekend and kept flipping through this booklet. I ended up putting it back because there were really only 2 patterns that "called" to me - this being one of them. Seeing your amazing version of this really makes me want to pick it up once and for all. Amazing work, as always, Leslie. I love the photos~

The sweater is gorgeous! I think I may have to take your idea of knitting on in wool for winter....and then maybe again next spring in a summer yarn. Yours turned out beautifully.

Don't you love Tahoe? It is so beautiful there. We almost went there for our honeymoon but finally decided on the coast since Tahoe is easier for us to frequent. I am glad you enjoyed it and all it's beauty!
